Recruitable Corporal 1st Class Dak Benkins - Soldier of the Endar Spire (A Request Recruitable Mod for KOTOR I). Since I have not talked about Dak Benkins for years above end I have been talking about the potential of introducing Dak Benkins to KOTOR I, he would have a Revan Head like this guy with fair skin and dark hair but the pc head could get his eyes browned or you can keep it blue upto you, Corporal 1st Class Dak Benkins is a Republic Soldier a Corellian from Coronet City who would join you as the player of Revan PC on the run to Carth Onasi like the idea of Revan's Choice - Endar Spire Mod you are joined by Regin so like how Regin joins you the idea would be Corporal 1st Class Dak Benkins joins up with you in the corridor he is the sole survivor of 2nd Battalion Alpha after he tried to save his comrade friend from his childhood Corporal 1st Class Aidus Denlin, He joins in the Playable Recruitment Mod in the role of Juhani's place replacing Juhani, The character would travel with you to Carth Onasi at the escape pod and alongside Revan accompanies you on Taris and with the choice of Mission Vao, Zaalbar, or the choice of Bastila or T3-M4 and can join for Davik Kang's estate alongside Canderous Ordo, Side Quests they are 2 for the story on Manaan he, Revan and whatever party member is with you will assist Benkins alongside his Smuggler Friends who he knew from his childhood from Corellia, Arod 'Arrow' Renning the Male Rodian and Captain of the Ebon Hawk's sister ship New Controller and the Chandra-Fan Male First Mate Vyrr Wezz, with him are few crew members of New Controller they are the Male Nikto Navigator named Salsose Vec, the Muscles Gunner the Human Male Mandalorian Neo-Crusader War Veteran Rokis Zuhl from Clan Zuhl a old comrade in arms and friend of Canderous Ordo during the Mandalorian Wars, the Ships Cook and Gunner Male Trandoshan named Tshossork Augri, and the Human Female Ships Medical Officer named Lea Stryder, Dak's Mission would be to kill a corrupt GenoHaradan Bounty Hunter at the Visitors Hotel named Room Moks he and several thugs have stolen goods from shops on Manaan and kept some hostages preventing New Controller's crew from buying supplies, Moks' wants revenge for the death of his college Davik Kang from the Exchange on Taris, Revan who you control Dak has to also stick for the mission and one party member you got the choice of Bastila, Carth, Mission, Zaalbar, Jolee, Canderous, T3-M4 or HK-47 to assist 'Arrow's crew to stop Moks on Manaan they face him down and literally kill Moks at the Visitor's Hotel, A music for the mission of the objective is from a Lucio Fulci Horror Film City of the Living Dead with the them playing halfway Lucio Fulci City Of The Living Dead(1980)Theme - YouTube but at the scene of 0:40 verse going like it's chilled action, to 1:51 verse only. After eliminating Room Moks the Male Duros Bounty Hunter and his thugs the Visitor's Hotel is Liberated and 'Arrow's Crew takes the goods and 'Arrow' bids Dak farewell and the gang and he hopes to see him again after the war ends, 2nd Side Quest on Manaan for Dak is when he goes to sees a Junior Sith Officer named Ellabelle Blenlin a Junior Lieutenant from the Sith Empire at the Sith Cantina where Duan and Viglo are, Dak meets Blenlin and her friend Junior Lieutenant Gareth Carplin whom they exchange their true colors and they're on good terms with the republic add don't like the Sith' that well since they're like a fulcrum agent or Sith Splinter Cell who give Roland Wann vital information, Romance between Ellabelle and Dak occurs and he takes her on a date and after wards she promises a second date for him again when the war has ended since Dak has to do his own stuff, Leviathan Capture well apparently that will just be like Juhani going invisiable so that part can remain how she slipped undetected, (or have a scene where he is in the cell but convinces a Sith Guard to give up and defect fight the right cource since he is following the SIth Properganda the wrong side) Since Dak is not among the three prisoners with Revan, Carth and Bastila well Dak is a lucky man and a great guy who can slip past anything, he would rescue the others and he join Canderous and the rest to the Ebon Hawk, They're isn't much we can mention for Rakata Prime but he wishes Revan luck before the big battle that's about it, and he will appear at the Cross of Glory Ceremony as well with Admiral Forn Dodonna. So the Mod Should be a good creation and if your looking for a voice actor I can voice Dak Benkins for you since I am always avaliable remember to contact my details through Discord or Gmail to do it if I want to send Audio Files through as I like to voice the character in KOTOR Mod Iteself, Also The Mod will be a free for all uses whoever not likes to use Juhani it's entirely upto them and weather your into soldiers of the republic or jedi of the republic but those who don't wish to use jedi and smugglers or whatever whoever is a military fan your welcome to create Recruitable Corporal Dak Benkins for use since I have always liked the idea of a unknown Republic Soldier suriviving Endar Spire. Dak Benkins is equipped with a Baragwin Assault Rifle and two blaster pistols and a long sword. Regular Soldier Clothing for Revan and Republic Armor included or smugglers clothing maybe a Atton Rand outfit or upto you. Currently Dak Benkins is going to be a character for a Turkish KOTOR Machinima creator in the future who plans to do KOTOR I in future years as I am the users Writer for the story itself a long on going story. Thank you all and yes this is an update for Dak Benkins and possible future activition feel free to create the character when the time comes. Regards The Owner Colby James.

Hi. So the speedrunning community is trying to figure out how a glitch works that we call a "Displaced Loading Zone" (aka DLZ). And I've come here for some help solving this mystery. What is a DLZ? A DLZ is when you're just walking along in the game and suddenly, for no apparent reason, the game loads a different module - as if you had walked into a Loading Zone. Examples: Endar Spire Taris - Sith Base Dantooine Enclave Speedrunner DLZ info doc: What We Know This used to be a very rare occurrence and getting footage of it was even rarer. But as more people streamed the game, we got more and more examples. We eventually got enough info to start some early speculation on how this glitch was occurring. Long story short, we have a basic understanding of the circumstances needed for this glitch to fire. How does a DLZ work? What's Confirmed: A DLZ always occurs when the player is "below" or "south" of the Loading Zone on the map (in the negative Y direction). A DLZ can occur at any Y position below the loading zone, so long as it coincides with the trigger. Z position does not matter Camera facing does not matter Player facing does not matter? Which character is party leader doesn't matter A DLZ can trigger dialogue cutscenes as well as Loading Zones. Some maps in game are turned 90 degrees from the way they are actually oriented in the Toolset (example: Endar Spire - Command Module). If a party member is too far away from the party leader, a "Gather Your Party" dialogue occurs instead of the module transition and the player is placed outside the door at the transabort point. If there are 2 valid destinations above the player when a DLZ is triggered, it will not always go to the nearest one What's Theorized: A DLZ occurs when the player is within range of some sort of trigger or encounter, etc. A DLZ occurs when the player is "East" or "West" of any trigger on the map (in any X direction - not just when inside the trigger) A DLZ is caused because the game checks if the player position matches the Y coordinate of the trigger and the X coordinate of the loading zone. A DLZ cannot cause a player to reach a loading zone that is "East" or "West" of them (in the positive or negative X direction). A DLZ cannot cause a player to reach a loading zone that is "South" of them (in the negative Y direction) If there are 2 valid destinations above the player when a DLZ is triggered, it will always go to the farthest one (highest Y coord) A DLZ only fires when you're aligned at the very edge of the door's loading zone with your X value. Here's an example DLZ from the Endar Spire: Conceptual Semantics: There are various ways of conceptualizing this phenomenon and we often use them interchangeably. Expressing it in these different ways can cause confusion. All of these are conceptually more or less the same, even if it's not exactly how the glitch works. The Loading Zone is brought down to the player - (hence, "Displaced Loading Zone") The player is brought up to the Loading Zone Move along the Y-axis Move up/down from this X point Aligned at this X value Vertical DLZ Matching X coordinate of the Loading Zone and the Y coordinate of the Trigger. Consistent Results - Performing the Glitch at Will We just recently discovered a way to consistently perform the glitch. Up until now, we have been unable to perform the glitch at will. This made studying how it works next to impossible. The method involves continuously walking into a wall while angling left and right to continually pass over the X position where we know the glitch can occur. The Consistency varies wildly. But it's something. In fact, the new Endar Spire DLZ method is so consistent that anyone can do it in, at most, about 10 seconds. It's basically free. Consistent Endar Spire DLZ Finding Various DLZ coordinates - (X position is what matters) So, after trying this method on various DLZ locations, we set about determining precisely what X value needed to be achieved for it to fire. Some DLZ locations were harder to get to work than others. And some seemed to need extremely precise positioning to work. We suspect that there is something to this that we are missing. It appears that sometimes if we are moving too fast or too slow in the X direction, it doesn't happen. So, our current method is to pass over the X point as many times as we can to just hope it fires. Typical DLZ attempt by our most practiced DLZer WHY does a DLZ happen? Seeking the answer to this question is what led me here to make this post. I started combing through the source SCRIPTS of the game to try to understand how triggers and loading zones are handled by the game. It's a big pool to dive into. I can read the scripts well enough. It's all VERY thoroughly commented, which helps a lot. But I can't seem to find the scripts I'm looking for, even when going down an #include rabbit trail. The closest I've come to finding what I'm looking for is coming across the GetEnteringObject() function being used. But I have yet to find the NSS file where it's defined. What I'm looking for: How does the game track player position? How does the game know a player entered a trigger zone? How does the game know a player entered a loading zone? How could the player/loading zone coordinates be getting confused? My theory is something like: in the script, the programmer assumes the Y coordinate for the player is known and only checks to see that the X coord matches. Something like that. If you've read this far, thank you for your time. Any help or insights you could give would be greatly appreciated.
